Flashes of light, light, light
Inside the tower, but I am uninvited
I'm on earth and you're high up in the sky, sky, sky
Isolate yourself with your kind
From the world outside

Locked yourself inside your shell
Afraid of all the tales they tell
They laid their eggs inside your mind
While the world revolves you're paralyzed

I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black butterfly

Fly fly, like you always dreamed
'Cause when we die, -ie, -ie
We'll be paying for our sins
Now they say: My oh my
But remember who has stood by your side
All this time

When you were crawling on your knees
Now you're the one abandoning me
I'm not the one who has changed
Not the one who needs to be saved

I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black butterfly

So what have you become
Craving for the storm
'Cause you feel so numb
Feel so numb
And inside your shell you became someone else
You're someone else

I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black butterfly

I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black butterfly

You say: When death will kiss me goodbye
I'll be flying high up in the sky
Into eternity, I will rise
So save your tears, I'll be a butterfly

I'd rather live before I die
Than die to live in paradise
A sinner dying on his feet
Or living a life on your knees
